Tony CH Tam & Yi Xie - China Today

Review by Iglesia Santiago Centro

China Today, the latest album by Tony CH Tam & Yi Xie, is a mesmerizing musical journey through the rich culture and traditions of China. The album features a unique blend of traditional Chinese instruments and contemporary sounds, creating a harmonious fusion of old and new.

The album opens with "Glimmering Night," a hauntingly beautiful track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The use of the erhu, a two-stringed bowed instrument, combined with modern electronic beats, creates a captivating sound that draws the listener in.

Each track on the album tells a story, from the upbeat and cheerful "Joyful Gathering" to the more contemplative and reflective "Silent Snow." The use of traditional Chinese instruments such as the pipa, guzheng, and dizi, adds a unique flavor to the music, creating a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past.
